56" rear leafs

56\" rear leafs

how difficult is it to use 52" replacement springs on a truck originally having 56"s? Does the rear perch just ubolt and move foreward or does it need to be welded? The only 2-3" lift I have found with 56" rears is RC and I have been told they are too stiff, so I want to go TC ez ride. thanks /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

just do a shackle flip with some stock 56's. 4" right there. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Yup, I second the shackle flip on stock 56's! You'll love the flex too.

I'll find out soon enough though. apparently RC's new springs are double tapered and have teflon pads between them like TC and Superlift. I just ordered a 2" lift and will post what I think when I am finished installing it.

I have 6" Rough Country springs with the pads and they ride great. You will like them.

I hope so. I went with a 2" since I have new 32's I need to wear out before I go to 33s or 35's. At that point I'll do a shackle flip to get me 6". Also, I thought that the flatter springs in the 2" would ride the best. In case you can't tell, my wife and son ride in it alot. Thanks for you input.
